Wertheim Needle Holder 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled needle handling and suturing during deep pelvic and gynecologic procedures, this Wertheim-style needle holder facilitates needle placement and knot-tying in confined operative fields. Common uses include radical hysterectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy, uterine artery ligation, and other procedures that require reliable needle control at depth where longer reach and a narrow shaft improve accessibility.

Design & Configuration

The 24 cm length provides extended reach into the deep pelvis while preserving surgeon dexterity. Ring handles with a ratchet locking mechanism enable secure, sustained clamping of the needle without continuous manual pressure, and the box-lock construction gives durable hinge stability for repeated use. Short, stout jaws concentrate grasping force at the needle shaft, improving tactile feedback and reducing slippage when driving needles through dense tissue.
